n9jig Pillar of the Community United States 997 Posts	Posted 06/30/2012 8:21 pm I read someplace that the Mint tried to run the outer layer down the edges some on the halves to make them look more like silver. Dunno if it is true or not, but it could explain why there are so many "silver" halves that aren't. Report this Post to the Staff
